Phase II tuner buttons

I'm looking to replace the stock buttons on my 513 and Mira with ebony buttons. It looks/sounds like Schaller M6 buttons are the proper fit. StewMac has two sizes of buttons--small and large (or regular). Does anyone know what size would match the stock buttons?

Any luck with this? I have a 2008 CU24 with Phase 2, but the buttons are wayyyyy smaller than those on my DGT with Phase 3 tuners. I'm thinking that I need to replace with the 'Mini' buttons from Schaller?

Jarek. Which ones are you looking to replace?
The Phase 3 to smaller buttons?
Phase 3 tuners are made by Gotoh and I understand that the buttons are different. You need buttons made for Gotoh tuners. More onfo on that here:http://prsguitars.com/forum/showthre...ase-III-Tuners

The Phase 2 with larger buttons to match the DGT?
Then the large M6 buttons we are talking about here should work.

Sorry I wasn't clear. I have the nickel ones on my phase 2 right now, and I'd like to replace them with ebony for less weight, and to match the colors of the guitar better. It's a Artist Package, so the headstock has the veneer, and the neck is ebony, so I think that the ebony knobs will be a better look.

I think I figured it out. Smart guy here didn't realize the buttons weren't purely cosmetic, and therefore didn't loosen the strings before removing the old buttons. So the tuning button shaft slid towards the middle of the headstock; when I put the new buttons on, the tuner was misaligned, and therefore unable to turn.
